56 mpg on a long run, with a fair bit of gentle running at 55-60 in sixth, but some 80-90 motorway. 29mpg crawling in low gear and stop-start in the snow.

Probably about 45-48 average. Mines done 18k miles.

Hallix

Ive had well over 60mpg on motorway driving the cars done 9k and nicely run in

Emily-Elizabeth

I got 33mpg over a 100 mile run once. Obviously a short distance in wall to wall traffic makes for ****e mpg, but generally speaking I have to be trying REALLY hard to get less than 42mpg.

Averaging about 45mpg overall.

Mine's according to the computer, but I checked it against a brim-to-brim fill and it's fairly accurate.

E-E is right- heavy traffic screws it.

Fish

I'm averaging around 48 - 50 mpg and getting about 490 - 510 miles from a full tank.

Not quite hit 'book' figures as yet. Done 10k since I bought it six months ago (used, now about 19k on the clock overall).

42 ish from vRS - very local mileage, car barely warming up

WW_VRS

Worst was about 24 mpg when trashing the living cr*p out of the car in every gear used, braking very hard and standing on the accelerator again type crazy driving.

This was when I was trying to find out worst mpg.

Best (indicated, average) was 58 mpg when following someone who was sticking to just below 70 mph on a long journey. Very relaxing journey somehow and fuel economy was awesome.

That said generally hit high 40s

I've had 67 mpg, when driving in very concentrated 'economy' mode, just trying to prove that a good diesel can outdo a prius! lol...

worse was last summer at a mini-meet sheffield, left it in the carpark with g/f and hc in there enjoying the aircon (was VERY hot outside) the engine was just running the aircon for about 3 hours! lol... got 18 mpg by the time I was home!

No remap, car is standard other than PD160 intake. All in all averaging 44.74mpg which should improve during the summer. Each day I drive like a Granny to work (20miles each way), the trip always indicates 50-60mpg in each direction. At weekends I do about 100miles of less than careful driving.
The long term trip (number 2 in the display) always indicates about 46/47mpg

Future mods - possibly a remap.

400 - 420 till light comes on per full tank pre remap was average. Will see what remap does.
Oh and heres a tip, when filling up if the pump you require has a queue and if there is an empty pump suitable for a nearside filler, then drive up get close and position your backend inline with the nozzle. Get a glove or papertowel for each hand so you can keep the oily pipe off your rear and fill up, with a smug smile on your face.

best 71.1mpg on a 17 mile run to work or 70.1mpg on a 157 mile run down the motorway and A-road to my parents house

worst 22.5 after a track day at Oulton Park , so even after being screwed for 160 miles , the VRS still has better fuel consumption than most hot hatches

I normally get 45 - 50 MPG on the work run. Normally get anywhere between 420 - 450 per tank.

Does just changing the air intake to the PD160 affect the power? I see from fletch555 that the fuel economy is not adversly affected?

According to trip computer i regularly get up to 74mpg cruising home from work. But brim to brim i've never had over 50mpg out of a tank. Strange thing is i probably average about 47mpg overall, but if i drove without trying to be economical i'd still get about 44mpg.

Gray 909

The best I've had was 61mpg on the trip computer on my way down to Goodwood Festival of Speed from Guilford. The worst was 34 mpg on a late night blast from a mates house.

Chrispy

The trip computer is always a tad optimistic as it doesn't seem to register that you've just mashed the throttle for a couple of seconds but does register that you've just coasted. Mine's always about 3mpg higher than what I'm actually getting, which seems to be about 46 /47 average. I've seen 50mpg once (brimming it) but that was a warm week and I was not in a hurry.

best Mpg was 68 traveling on 25 mile commute from work when engine was warm. Worst was 29 around the roundabouts of Milton Keynes

PassatNoMore

I'll second that !. Car's only done 1,200 miles but brim to brim has never been better than 41 mpg in a mix of town and motorway, although TC is saying 54. Salesman says TC should be within 10%. I'm hoping that things will get markedly better

BTW my old petrol Passat 1.8 consistently did 35 mpg under the same mix of town and motorway
